Abstract
Transformative innovation policy is a new paradigm developed within the frameworks of science, technology and innovation policy, to address today’s social, economic and environmental challenges. Currently, it is beginning to be recognized that this policy could lead innovation systems towards a sustainable performance that favors sustainability transitions. However, specifying possible effects of this type of policy on innovation systems is a complex task, as they face with adaptive complex systems made up of heterogeneous agents that are contingently related and co-evolving over time. These characteristics create the necessity to develop a dynamic and longitudinal analysis, that has been pleased in this thesis with an agent-based model. The proposed Model was validated for the case of specialty coffees in Antioquia, Colombia and it allows to simulate various scenarios of transformative innovation policies. Through the conducted simulations, it can be concluded that a policy focused on supporting the innovation capabilities of agents who are promoting a transition to specialty coffees stimulates a sustainable performance of the innovation system that emerges in the coffee productive chain, allowing a significant change in the practices, routines and ways of innovate of the agents. In addition, it is proved once again that in the Latin American context, the approach to capabilities is crucial for transitions to happen, given the existence of gaps that arises between agents which limit the systemic component of innovation and the change in directionality. Finally, it should not be overlooked that transitions imply profound social and cultural transformations to put pressure for changes in innovation systems
